Just a few suggestions for the user interface for starting MP games. Didn't want to put this in the bugs forum, since these are low priority compared to speeding up MP, etc.

1. Shouldn't have to connect to gamespy to choose a LAN or Hotseat game. There should be a generic MP menu that lets you choose Hotseat/LAN/PBEM/Gamespy/Direct IP (soon).

2. Launch button is pretty invisible.

3. A multiplayer quickstart would be nice. Wanted to start a LAN game with continents with my housemates, but one of us kept ending up on a little island. It was annoying to redo the setup.

4. Is there a way to change the timer once the game has started? This would be a nice feature.

Aside from these issues and a little speed improvement, I love PTW so far. Beat my housemate to the Great Library!
